Male hate

It's been the same since day one

The hatpin panic is a good one to look up. It's sold as female empowerment, but it was literally women going around stabbing people all over the place

Sometimes justified, mostly probably not

It's spookily like #metoo

but i definitely dont think opposing women's suffrage should be part of the MRM

Oh no, it isn't

I don't think anyone is saying it is

I object to the name women's suffrage. The women who campaigned to get the vote were terrorists

And they never should have been given it for free, whereas men had to agree to fight and die for it

they didnt just shame men into the draft, they lobbied for war

@InsaneCaterpilla I think you're mixing up suffrages and suffragettes

Orly?

Suffragettes were the pipe bombers though

Tbf, there was heavy opposition to the rights of women from the upper classes, I can sort of sympathise with these clearly very brave women who where living in the most powerful country in the planet yet couldn’t even decide who they wanted to govern their country, with no option left they had to turn to terrorism. Although I believe violnece isn’t the answer to all problems but in this case it was the only to get their voices heard

Violence*

The men only just got the vote by fighting and dying. No sympathy.

Something we are still expected to do today

Yes, but the men who fought and died where from the lower classes

It’s the upper classes

That was the issue

But women had no mediam in which to fight for there rights apart from out right sympathy

Not sympathy

I mean terrorism

Is it fair that only the people who owned land and such could vote? No. Is it fair women got the vote for some campaigning, and men are obligated to be drafted in wartime even today to earn that right? No, there's not an official law of it in the UK, but you know it would soon be the case in the event of a serious threat to the country, and in other countries its simply stated.

That's still not fair either

I get what your saying

But the attitude of the time was that women should not fight and die in the trenches

Getting mow down in their millions

But, they had to prove their worth

And while I realise that what these women did was terrible but they felt they had no where else to turn

'The attitude of the time' doesn't provide an excuse. Such a reason can be used to say slavery was fine and dandy back in the day

Which was why it was difficult to challenge

Which makes their situation even more dire

So making their options less viable

Same with suffrage

But that just my opinion

This persists even today and you go on about how it used to be fine, why are you making excuses for something you know is unfair? Simply make it fair today. I don't care what the reasons were, it wasn't fair then and it isn't fair now, and I'm not going to pretend that it makes what happened back then more ok that they had excuses for doing certain things

I'm tired anyway.. probably not bringing my point across as eloquently as I could

If ya wanna reply I'll have a see tomorrow mate, Nn all
